Miles Himmel, the founder of the Larry Himmel Neighborhood Foundation, remarked, “We are honored to bring this event back for its ninth year.” This event upholds my dad’s strong belief that people should feel better about the place they call home. When a youngster leaves with a smile, a new haircut, and the self-assurance to start a new school year, there is nothing more valuable.
